At Sykes Anderson, we always look to improve our service. We ask our clients and contacts to give us feedback on their experience of dealing with us. Here is what they say about us and our services.
French tax, property and probate
"Sykes Anderson offered us effective advice and an efficient service to enable us to establish a business in France and recover the substantial TVA we had incurred on our project.”
“I first came across SA when they advised me on the purchase by my SIPP of some French leaseback properties I owned personally, with gearing from a French bank. Much had been written of the possibilities in this sphere, but they translated this extremely complicated and rather theoretical plan into concrete action and delivered the desired result. I should add that a number of professionals were involved, both in UK and France, but they were the leader and "chef de file" for the transaction."
“I subsequently employed them to draw up French and English wills for myself and my partner, who is French. Again all the formalities were attended to with despatch and precision, and were fully explained both verbally and in writing."
“Latterly, I sought their advice again along with my partners when we were considering disposing of a substantial business in the UK. They came up with a scheme that substantially mitigated the CGT liability in a way which we had not expected, and for which we remain extremely grateful."
"I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any client, individual or corporate.”
“Knight Frank's Equestrian agency team were faced with selling a large Stud Farm property in Deauville for a German client. Sykes Anderson were acting for the buyer and in doing so could not have been more professional and helpful, with a thorough understanding and interpretation of French agriculture and tax issues. I could not recommend them more highly to work in any conveyance for clients offshore. A perfect partner."
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
“I have used Sykes Anderson for many years now for a variety of legal issues. The quality of their work and advice, time and time again has always been excellent."
“I had cause to use them throughout 2009 for a very complicated and difficult litigation problem. Ben Hopps was my main contact throughout. His grasp of the issues of the case were immediate and comprehensive. From start to finish he showed the utmost professionalism that went well beyond my hopes and expectations. It was obvious to me too that over and above his day to day work for me, he actually cared about the outcome of the case, and this was a further notable positive as far as I was concerned.”
"Ben provided a very useful and helpful service. This resulted in a speedy, positive outcome for us which it is doubtful would have occurred without the input of Ben's knowledge and expertise. I have no hesitation in recommending Ben to others and, should it be necessary, will avail myself again of his help. Best wishes."
"Ben Hopps provided a service and expertise second to none. Ben's guidance and advice secured a result which at times seemed out of reach. His knowledge of the law and more importantly, the strategy and tactics he proposed in approaching our dispute always seemed to put us one step ahead of the other side at all times. I cannot thank him enough and I have no hesitation in completely endorsing his work. Thank you once more."
"Ben assists us with our general commercial and employment law disputes as and when they arise. He always provides clear, detailed and objective advice, relevant to the circumstances and always in the context of our business. His advice and action on our behalf is robust when required but always takes into account wider commercial and pragmatic reasoning. Ben's professionalism means we can put absolute trust in his advice and his support allows us to concentrate on our business."
Company / Commercial
"Sykes Anderson offer a good blend of expertise and professionalism. The team have provided us with skilled technical advice which makes them a valuable asset to Amicorp. With their large number of contacts within the industry and the prompt efficient service we have constantly received, Amicorp would have no hesitation in recommending Sykes Anderson."
“Sykes Anderson has given my company practical legal advice on a range of Commercial & HR matters and we have found they really do understand the essentials of client care. Their approach is carefully considered with attention to detail and they have the right mix of legal skills for a medium sized media company like ours. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to others looking for a dedicated team of legal professionals.”
Employment
“Ben was brilliant, I was very stressed and upset and Ben was patient, explained things over and over until it had sunk in. Always at hand to answer email or phone calls too, which was very helpful.”
“I worked with Ben Hopps at Sykes Anderson when Ben handled redundancy negotiations with my employer. Ben not only negotiated an extremely favourable result for me personally, he ensured that the whole process was as painless as possible and that the negotiations were concluded as swiftly as possible, giving me peace of mind and security. He is extremely professional, tenacious and demanding in getting the best result for his client.”
“I was advised by Ben Hopps of Sykes Anderson over a termination agreement with my employer in 2010. As a novice in these matters, I couldn't have made a better choice. Ben was a pleasure to deal with, knowledgeable, balanced and skilful in constructing an approach that ultimately yielded a settlement much higher than I could have expected. A good guy to have in your corner. Highly recommended.”
